I have

(..)\MTVShows-NEW\LOS SIMULADORES\tvshow.nfo

with the following content (Between ---)
----
https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=81045&lid=16
----

Title is showing 'The Pretenders' (English Translation from Spanish 'Los Simuladores'). Where is it getting the translation from?

How can I make it so for this show it displays the original title in tvdb? I don't see any language tag in the wiki (http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/TV_shows)

Hello jalcaid001

There is an English translated version of that same show on TVDB, so it is picking up the English version for the title.... https://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=se...1045&lid=7

Is all the other information correctly scraped as the Spanish version?

In your scraper settings, do you have en (English) or es (Spanish) set?

That problem did exist a while ago, but it was fixed quite quickly... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=323839

Do you have the latest scrapers installed...

TMDB 5.0.3
TMDB tvshows 2.0.1 (if you use TMDB for TV Shows)
TMDB Scraper library 2.17.6 (found in settings>system settings>add-ons>dependencies)

TVDB 3.0.1

Hi,

I have TVDB 3.0.1, and if I set the content of the folder with language spanish, the scrapper gets the tittle in Spanish.

But my questions are:

- Can I do it somehow with tvshow.nfo so the title is in Spanish only for that particular TV show?
- IS there a way of choosing always the title in the original language?

Thanks!

If it's only for that particular TV show, you can manually edit the title within Kodi itself. Highlight the show, bring up the context menu, go to Manage, and then to Edit Title.

Not sure if it will be useful to you, but @scudlee also showed me a way to edit the scraper so that it lets me choose the title to save from among the aliases offered up by TVDB. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2665074
I didn't follow the link
But my question is for all tvshows in general (I'm using that particular one as an example)
I don't want to have to change scrappers settings for each folder (for each different TVShows), nor have to put different TVshows on different folders based on language (TVShows-EN, TVShows-SP, ...)
So I'd like to know if there is a way of having the original language on each TVShow or at least using .nfo file to just set this info in the TV shows that are not English.

If it's not possible, it would be a nice to have feature
